My favourite hair hack ever! I love having a fringe, but it can be fairly high maintenance at times, especially if – like me – you suffer cow licks or curls in your hair which are responsible for you often waking up a la Something About Mary. Because of the unpredictable direction of my bangs, I usually have to give in to washing my hair each morning just so I can dry it into the right direction.

The packet looks a murky brown/beige, and not like the pretty, nudey, muted pink that actually goes on. I LOVE this shade for an every day look.View Post

If you haven’t already heard of it, Cult Beauty is a niche online beauty shop selling high-end beauty products, some of which are hard to find anywhere else. Favourites are Anastasia Beverly Hills, Becca Coametics and Huda Beauty. I just had a bit of a splurge at Cult; as a big fan of Anastasisa Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade, I finally committed to the Brow Definer too – and I’m never looking back!
